　　He is only 20 years old, but has already had five years of experience in the world of entertainment. He is Edison Chan（陈冠希）.

　　Edison Chan has attracted much attention since joining entertainment circles（娱乐圈）. His attrac-tive appearance has certainly helped, but he's also

received help from heavyweights like the Chairman of Emperor Entertainment Albert Yueng and superstar Jackie Chan. Even late movie and pop idol（偶象）Leslie Cheung（张国荣）once wrote songs for him.

　　With such support, Edison slid easily into the industry--singing, acting and filming in commercials. He soon became one of Hong Kong's most popular rising stars. His big break came with his performance in “Infernal（恐怖的）Affairs”Another milestone was “Twins Effect”, which took over 15 million Hong Kong dollars in its opening week,

　　Edison had always dreamt of being a basketball player, but he was forced by his father to model and act from an early age. When he was 15 years old, he shot a commercial with Hong Kong superstar Leon Lai（黎明）, which attracted the atten-tion of Emperor Entertainment.

　　But not satisfied with acting alone, Edison has turned his hand to singing. He is finding time between shoots to make his album and music video. He said he thoroughly enjoyed himself when he was busy working.

　　This young boy said, “I think that now I can better understand what it is to be an actor and know more about the media（媒体）. I've changed a lot since I first entered the circle. Therefore I will try my best to keep up a good relationship with the media. But they should know there are always some things I can't say. Sometimes they say things that aren't true, but I don't care. I hope they can realize I'm also an ordinary person.”

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人节) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.

So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code(守则) does not encourage you to risk(冒险) your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(争论) about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”
